Move the air intake control to
%or
M to select the outside air or
recirculation modes.
% (Outside Air): This mode
pulls outside air inside the vehicle. M (Recirculation): This mode
recirculates and helps to quickly

9-16 Driving and Operating START position. Release the
key when the engine starts.
If the engine starts, but fails to
run, repeat the above procedure. .
If the engine is very hard to
start in extremely cold
weather or when restarting,
depress the accelerator
pedal a little (approximately
1/3 to the floor) and hold it
and then crank the engine.
Release the key and the
accelerator pedal when the
engine starts. .
If the engine is very hard to
start because it is flooded,
depress the accelerator
pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it. Crank the engine
for five to six seconds.
After cranking the engine,
release the accelerator
pedal. Crank the engine with
your foot off the accelerator
pedal by turning the ignition
key to START. Release the
key when the engine starts. If the engine starts, but fails
to run, repeat the above
procedure.
{ CautionDo not operate the starter for
more than 15 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start, turn
the key off and wait 10 seconds
before cranking again, otherwise
the starter could be damaged.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at
least 30 seconds after starting.
Do not race the engine while
warming it up. Drive at moderate
speed for a short distance first,
especially in cold weather.
In cold weather, keep the engine
running for a minimum of two to
three minutes before shutting it
off. Starting and stopping the
engine over a short period of
time may make the vehicle more
difficult to start. Note: Care should be taken to
avoid situations that can lead to
potential battery discharge and
potential no-start conditions
such as:
1. Installation or extended use of
electronic accessories that
consume battery power when
the engine is not running (Phone
chargers, GPS, DVD
players, etc.).
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly
and/or only driven short
distances. In these cases, the
battery may need to be charged
to maintain battery health.

9-22 Driving and Operating Each time the engine is started,
or when the shift lever is shifted to
any position other than D (Drive),
the Overdrive off mode will be
automatically turned off.
Accelerator Downshift in D
Position For passing or hill climbing, depress
the accelerator pedal to the floor.
This shifts the transmission down
into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.
Fail Safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs,
the CVT will not be shifted into the
selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under
extreme conditions, such as
excessive wheel spinning and
subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated.
The MIL may come on to indicate
the fail-safe mode is activated. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5-11 . This will occur even if all
electrical circuits are functioning properly. In this case, place the
ignition switch in the OFF position
and wait for 10 seconds. Then place
the ignition switch back in the ON
position. The vehicle should return
to its normal operating condition. If it
does not return to its normal
operating condition, have a dealer
check the transmission and repair if
necessary.
{ WarningWhen the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe
operation occurs, vehicle speed
may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase
the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving.
If necessary, pull to the side of
the road at a safe place and allow
the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary. Brakes Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
{ Warning .
The ABS is a sophisticated
device, but it cannot prevent
accidents resulting from
careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help
maintain vehicle control
during braking on slippery
surfaces. Remember that
stopping distances on
slippery surfaces will be
longer than on normal
surfaces even with ABS.
Stopping distances may also
be longer on rough, gravel or
snow covered roads, or if you
are using tire chains. Always
maintain a safe distance from

company may require you to have
insurance that ensures repairs with
Genuine GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer replacement
parts. Read the lease carefully, as
you may be charged at the end of
the lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help. Do not
leave the scene of a crash until all
matters have been taken care of.
Move the vehicle only if its position
puts you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a police
officer. Give only the necessary information
to police and other parties involved
in the crash.

Managing the Vehicle Damage
Repair Process In the event that the vehicle requires
damage repairs, GM recommends
that you take an active role in its
repair. If you have a pre-determined
repair facility of choice, take the
